Span Tech, a leading innovator in conveyor systems and material handling solutions, is proud to announce its participation in the prestigious “Coolest Thing Made in Kentucky” contest. The Outrunner Spiral has been selected as a top contender for this esteemed recognition.
The Outrunner Spiral was pivotal during the baby formula shortage of 2022-23, ultimately helping to save countless infants’ lives across the nation.
An emergency facility was granted and approved by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Participation in this project required direct communication with White House officials. This project was rapidly produced in a 6-week timeline with 4 Outrunner Spirals made for the facility and is now operating in the first infant formula plant built in the last 25 years in the United States.
“What we do allows us to give back to the community in many ways. Working on the baby formula line during the shortage provided a great sense of accomplishment for our team as we believed we made a direct impact,” said Aaron Woosley, Span Tech CFO. “Shortly thereafter we had a fundraiser with a local charity to purchase, what else, baby formula. Full circle!”
The Outrunner Spiral’s unique design allows for efficient and gentle handling of delicate products, making it an indispensable tool in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and logistics. Its versatility and reliability have earned it widespread acclaim and recognition within the manufacturing community.
Now, Span Tech is calling on the support of its community, customers, and supporters to help secure victory in the “Coolest Thing Made in Kentucky” contest. By casting their votes for the Outrunner Spiral, individuals can show their appreciation for innovation that makes a real difference in people’s lives.
“Span Tech is honored to be a part of the ‘Coolest Thing Made in Kentucky’ contest and to showcase the impact of our Outrunner Spiral,” said Thomas Bratcher, Regional Applications Manager. “It was an honor to help in such an important project.”
